    btw, Martin took 21 shots to get 19 pts, and James' "+/-" is +6, but Martin's is "-3".

    During the most pivotal moments of the game, Martin owned on both ends of the court for 4 straight possessions.

    After that stretch, the Cavs couldn't recover.

    Most games are won or lost during that part of the game.

    LeBron is the best player in the game or one of the best. I'm not questioning that so you can relax. I'm a big LeBron fan.

    However, tonight, Kenyon made the key plays that drove his team to victory.

    Did anybody see that shaved image of Dirk in some fan's head?

    That was crazy. Looked exactly like him.

    That game was in Denver. Otherwise, Martin wouldn't be allowed to defend a player like that...

    Yeah that is horrible. I think he's going to end up as more of a distributor. I saw that he had 2 blocks tonight on Derrick Rose.

    They start a 9 game road trip, if they can win about 4 or 5 that should give them some confidence.

    For Jennings fans, there are a lot of things to be excited about.

    Even if he turns out to be a below average shooter in the long run, he does several other things well.

    He's a true PG despite getting the early rep as a score-first guy. He has great handles, speed and very good court vision and passing skills.

    He also rebounds well for his size and has the tools to be a good defender once he bulks up a little. He gets his steals now but the good defense I'm talking about will require he doesn't get bullied around like I've seen happen several times this season when watching him.

    Agreed with everything you said and that is why I laugh when people compare him to Iverson. That 55 pt. game gave people the wrong impression on Jennings actual Game.
